Ours had both kids at home and an entire day of loafing, which was very nice. I'll probably hit a few post-Xmas sales tomorrow, picking up a gift for one of my sisters and some outdoor lights to store for when the current ones die. Maybe I'll write some Christmas cards? I haven't had those ready PRE-Christmas in years.

An outdoor bike ride is unlikely, as it has just been too cold here. It should warm up around Wednesday, which is when we're planning to drive to Oregon to see family. No sign of the snow and ice storms that wreaked such havoc a couple of weeks ago, which is good. *fingers crossed*

I had hoped to write some Yuletide treats before the Christmas deadline, but nothing even got started. :( Maybe next year?

The kids are doing well. Our daughter is lazing around after a hard fall at college, and our son is doing much the same after a busy semester in high school that included what will be his one and only year playing water polo. ;)

I hope the trip is uneventful. The weather forecast for the two cities on either side of the mountain pass is above freezing and snow temps, so that's promising!
